Swimlanes and subcolumns
Add subcolumns to map intermediate stages and use swimlanes for different classes of service. Your boards should reflect the way your team works.
Flexible spaces
Add as many boards on one screen as you need. This feature helps you to build your workflow with accuracy and to configure processes on the go. You can also create as many work spaces as you want for different services or management levels.
Blockings
Assign ‘blocked’ status to the card by leaving a comment or linking to the blocker card. Navigate through this link to identify the stopper. If a child card is blocked, the parent card also gets a red sign of alert on it.
Types of work
Make a list of your own types of work. And assign them to the card.
SLA
Define SLA for each column or swimlane - in days, hours, or even minutes.
Avatars
See who is working on the task and who is responsible.
Checklists on the front
Work with checklists directly from the front of the card. Track the progress bar and make cards from checklist items.
The format of the cards
Choose between list and card formats. E.g. list format saves space in a long backlog. You can have different formats on one board - format is assigned to the column.
Manage your workflow
WIP limits
Limit Work In Progress to create focus on finishing the current task. Define WIP limit for a swimlane, column or cell. It measures in number of cards in the column or in total size of cards - if you estimate your tasks. When you exceed your WIP limit the swimlane or column is highlighted in red.
Explicit policies
Automatically assign checklists, card types or labels to the card when it moves to the specific column or lane.
Board rules
Create transparent board rules. The way any card moves to the board, lane or column should be clear to everyone.
